Summary Introduction

To explain:

The process of the excess heat loss from the body.

Introduction:

Body heat is produced as the result of the cellular metabolism. The muscle activities that cause the extra rate of metabolism can lead to an increase in the body heat. The most important factor that determines the production of the body heat is the basal rate of the metabolism of all the cells present in the body.

The major heat is produced in the active cells of the body, like the skeletal cell, cardiac cells, and the liver cells. When the metabolism of the cell rises above a certain amount, heat is generated. When this heat or temperature exceeds the given set point, nervous system stimulates different organs to dissipate this heat.
